Dream Your Green Philly!

September 25, 2008

Philadelphia is a city of parks, big parks, little parks, old, new, nice, in need of some TLC parks… but with the dawn of the age of green space in urban areas, Philadelphians are taking strides to beautify their parks, and now there is a contest to help them out! Staples is sponsoring a citywide contest called the Staples Dream Park Challenge where 15 Parks are competing for $25,000 to help them look their best! What an awesome idea – wouldn’t it be cool if all sorts of large companies did this for their cities?

Residents can vote for their favorite local park online at www.StaplesDreamPark.com. Each time a participant votes they are entered to win a chance to meet Eagles Free Safety Brian Dawkins. Whoa – watch out for the stampede of Dawkins lovers! Let me tell you dear readers, you can vote everyday. Sign me up! Residents can vote between September 23rd and November 17th.  The winning park will be announced in November, and then all of you lovely Philadelphians will have one more fantastic green space to be all excited about.

Penn Treaty Park, Fishtown and Champagne!

August 27, 2008

How can you pass up an event that requests you “step out in your snappy dress?” You must go to this great party The Friends of Penn Treaty Park are putting on, complete with bubbly and The Butch Ballard Jazz Trio on Friday, September 5th from 6-8:30 pm. For those of you unfamiliar with Penn Treaty park, what a great overlooked spot in Philadelphia’s Fishtown neighborhood! Besides being right on the river with a large lawn, and a full view of the Ben Franklin Bridge, this is the spot where William Penn made his famous Treaty of Friendship with the chief of the Lenape Turtle Clan, Chief Tamenend. The Treaty has been celebrated through the ages as a universal symbol of religious and civil liberties. What’s not to support about that? Plus as the summer winds down and the weather gets cooler, it is making for some gorgeous nights in Philadelphia.  Bubbly, jazz, people, lawn… snappy dress? Go!
